Contemporary is my favourite genre but unfortunately Our Chemical Hearts fell into the sub-category of contemporary that I don’t enjoy reading. I couldn’t connect with the characters or their stories at all and almost gave up after 100 pages. The ending did redeem the book slightly but overall, the novel was a bit unmemorable and […]
I enjoyed the author’s previous book First and Then so much that I couldn’t not pick this one up! This Adventure Ends is wholly original and definitely went straight to my heart. I think the blurb really discredits the book – it’s a bit boring in my opinion and certainly doesn’t attract attention. In fact, […]
I have no words for how adorable this book was. Set at a school for geniuses, I found this book and its school setting to be so relatable because the students were actually concerned with their studies and their rankings at school, and that was precisely the experience I had when I was at high […]
I was expecting great, great things from It Ends With Us and I was a little bit let down. It’s been established that I definitely do not have a heart of steel but yet I didn’t find myself connecting with the emotion of the story or shedding a tear at what happened in this book. […]
Think: fluffy, clumsy, idiosyncratic and heartwarming. I think those are good words that sum up this book. It’s a fairly quick read, and having a contemporary setting and easy-to-follow dialogue make it go even quicker. The author had some great things to say about high school and the behavior of teenagers in general. It was […]
Welcome to our stop on the Words in Deep Blue blog tour! The only word I can think of to describe this book is ‘delightful’. Words in Deep Blue is everything that I want in a book. It’s beautifully written, just the right amount of emotional and has a realistic romance that I can get […]
I have a penchant for devouring YA thrillers, so when I heard about the mystery behind The Leaving, I had to pick it up. Five teenagers get dropped off home with no knowledge for the past 11 years. They have procedural memory, but they have no memory of their relationships with each other, or what they’ve done […]
The Memory Book reduced me to a puddle of tears and I spent an entire night crying about it. Which is what makes this book perfect for me because I cannot resist a cryworthy contemporary story. Sammie has an incurable neurological disease that is slowly causing her to lose her memory and will eventually claim […]
A couple adjectives to describe this book would be adorable, quick, fluffy, and light. It almost played out like a high school movie. We have very authentic characters dealing with various real life situations that influence the way they act. Even though the short length of the book means that these situations aren’t fleshed-out as […]
